Net sales of gas increased by RUB 188,716 million, or 9%, to RUB 2,273,120 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same period of the prior year.
Net sales of gas to Europe and Other countries increased by RUB 203,382 million, or 17%, to RUB 1,430,472 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same period of the prior year. The overall increase in sales of gas to Europe and Other countries was driven by the increase in average Russian Ruble price (including excise tax and customs duties) by 20% compared to the same period of the prior year. The change was mainly driven by the increase in the foreign exchange rates which was enhanced by the increase in volumes of gas sold by 2%, or 2.8 bcm.
Net sales of gas to Former Soviet Union countries decreased by RUB 12,950 million, or 4%, to RUB 292,002 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same period of the prior year. The change was due to the decrease in volumes of gas sold by 26%, or 9.5 bcm, which is partially compensated by the increase in average Russian Ruble price (including customs duties) by 19%. The change was mainly driven by the increase in foreign exchange rates.
Net sales of gas in the Russian Federation decreased by RUB 13,790 million, or 2%, to RUB 538,572 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same period of the prior year. This is primarily explained by the decrease in volumes of gas sold by 5%, or 7.3 bcm.
Operating expenses increased by RUB 152,960 million, or 5%, to RUB 3,171,784 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same period of the prior year.
The increase in operating expenses is explained by an increase in a number of items such as: “Taxes other than on income” increased by RUB 40,759 million due to an increase in mineral extraction tax and property tax; “Transit of gas, oil and refined products” increased by RUB 97,287 million, or 34%, due to appreciation of US Dollar and Euro against the Russian Ruble.
Profit attributable to owners of PJSC Gazprom for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 totaled RUB 673,904 which is RUB 117,650 million, or 21%, higher compared to the same period of the prior year.
Net debt balance increased by RUB 372,086 million, or 23%, from RUB 1,650,633 million as of December 31, 2014 to RUB 2,022,719 million as of September 30, 2015. This increase resulted from change in foreign currency exchange rates (appreciation of US Dollar and Euro against the Russian Ruble), as well as increase in long-term and short-term borrowings.
